What are some of America's most ridiculous myths?
Advertisements [?]For one, the war on terror. It's an absolute hoax, though a highly successful one. The war on drugs is also a hoax. The homosexual threat, another huge myth. The official story of nine eleven, way, way hoaxy.
Help me out here.

2. To me, it's "America is the GREATEST Country on earth!"
I don't mean that it's all bad, but it's the ultimate in arrogance to continue to say "We're the GREATEST!"

84. The Cold War was "won" for one reason
Gorbachev saw that it wasn't worth fighting anymore. RayGun and Bush I just happened to be standing there when Gorby called off the game.

82. The people choose the President
The electoral college does, except in 2000 when the supreme court chose it, and in 2004 when Diebold chose it.

95. The myth of the rugged individualist.
That's the single biggest one I can think of. and in its effects one of the most destructive, as it provides a sort of justification for selfishness and disdain of community-oriented thinking.

I can't imagine these people are representative of Democrats let alone the American people.

And yet, the evidence before our eyes seems to suggest otherwise.
Probably not representative of even a supermajority of democrats, but based on the fact that Whorehouse Harry Reid and Bella Pelosi - and too damned many other elected moonbats (and the Chosen One, of course) - parrot back the "ideas" and opinions of these mental defectives tells me that they're a majority of the Democrats who vote.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Hey, DUmmy - who decides where the electoral college votes for each state go? THE PEOPLE!!! Democrats are trying to change that, though, of course. They want it so that the electoral votes for each state goes to whoever wins the popular vote nationwide. So that means even if 99.999999% of the votes in a state goes to one candidate, his opponent would be awarded the electoral votes if the opponent wins the national popular vote.

My lifelong Democrat mother believed that until she went into an assisted living facility. Now she's wondering if she'd be "wrong" to vote for McCain.

Their dislike of that term has intrigued me for some time. They use other words which describe themselves as being "rugged individualist," such as "independent thinker" and other terms along that line. And then, in their world, the first thing the "independent thinker" is supposed to do is to fall in line with what the whole desires. Really strange, but typical for them since they very rarely (if ever) complete the process of reasoning until it's eventual conclusion.
